Where is the love?
Nose: Leather wax, ski wax, all wax. Really mature Camembert or melted Raclette. Hot tyres, Play-Doh, old chewing gum. All wrapped in sharp tones of sweet over-ripe pear, fantastically out of place, like a pinball machine in a church.

I just got home from the ‘bloggers tasting’ at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. They organise one [...]
Why exactly is Smokehead so dear?
As I would imagine somebody will be quick enough to point out, this isn’t really a post with a point. It’s more of a musing, maybe a push for some discussion. I was looking at the price of Smokehead 18 year old yesterday and was struck by just how expensive it really is. In case [...]

I had this idea to include a small thumb up/thumb down picture with every Quick Dram we do (see previous post on Tamdhu), just to be perfectly clear on whether we liked the whisky or not. What do you think? Vote and leave us a comment. If you give the idea thumbs down we’ll drop [...]

Yup, that’s right. It does exactly what it says on the tin. You go to YouTube, subscribe and watch us doing stupid things with/after whisky. We are hoping to fire out a video every couple of days. If you don’t have a YouTube account, don’t worry - we’ll be posting the videos here as well… [...]

It’s our Birthday soon!
It’s the Edinburgh Whisky Blog’s birthday soon. Our little creation is going to be 1 on January 12th. I feel so proud, emotional and… I… I… promised myself I wouldn’t cry. Ok Chris, pull yourself together.
So what are Lucas and I going to do to celebrate? Spend a night drinking on our own? Go to [...]
Are you tough enough to come along?

Malt Whisky Yearbook 2010
In all fairness we have known about it for a wee while now, but due to piles over piles of other stuff to do and, to a certain (very small!) extent, our laziness, we are only letting you know now. The newest Malt Whisky Yearbook will be available from your local whisky shop and online retailers any [...]
